Mardi Gras Magic: New Orleans Gears Up for Festivities as Caesars Unveils a $435 Million Transformation
As Mardi Gras approaches, the city of New Orleans is preparing for its most festive time of the year. From Feb. 26 to March 3, the city will come alive with dazzling parades, vibrant street celebrations and non-stop revelry. The highlight of the season, Mardi Gras Day—or Fat Tuesday—on March 4, marks the grand finale of Carnival. Iconic parades like Zulu and Rex will roll through the streets, while the city erupts in a whirlwind of music, food and tradition.
Adding to the excitement, Caesars New Orleans has officially completed its $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s, marking a new era for the city’s only land-based casino. Now featuring nearly 800 hotel rooms between the brand-new Caesars Tower and the original hotel on Poydras Street, the reimagined resort offers guests a luxurious stay in the heart of the action.
The revamped gaming floor spans over 150,000 square feet, boasting more than 1,300 slot machines, 120 table games, a 20-table World Series of Poker Room and three outdoor gaming courtyards. Sports fans can also enjoy a top-tier wagering experience at the 5,700-square-foot Caesars Sportsbook.
Beyond gaming, Caesars New Orleans delivers an unmatched culinary scene. Guests can indulge in world-class dining at Louisiana’s first Nobu, Emeril’s Brasserie by local legend Emeril Lagasse, and a celebrity-driven food hall featuring offerings from Bobby Flay, Buddy Valastro and Nina Compton. At the heart of the resort, the new Octavia center bar offers a chic, upscale atmosphere to sip and socialize.
